Mr COBDEN had better look to his laurels, for he is threatened by a powerful opposition. Doubtless h 3 now considers himself safe, and laughs at any adverse movement ; but it by no means follows that when the day of trial comes he may not find that he has enacted the part of the hare in the fable, and allowed the tortoise to creep in and win the race. It is always difficult to define the opposition that arrays itself against one who, fora long period, has been a popular favourite. At first a whispe r of reproof and reproach is scarcely heard, bat the curious fooling takes root and gradually g a i ns ground, slow:y, surely working on to its fatal end. At the time of th repeal of the Cura Laws there was no man in England more highly thought of than the hon. member for Rochdale ; but it was not a lasting sentiment, deep in the heart of the nation, but a temporary feeling that was evoked. He rode on the wings of a transitory triumph and did not reckon on a more lasting and solid foundation on which to build his renown. It may truly be said of Mr COBDEN that he has missed the tide in his cif tits, which, taken at the fhod, would have led on to fortune. He has not identified himself with the spirit of the English people, not fully and fairly represented their character in his dealings with foreign nations., There has been too mu c h o f o ne idea running through all his views to render him a -LIFEBOAT SERVICES.—During the storms of the past year the boats of the National Lifeboat institution savLd 417 persons from different wrecks on our coasts.

Peace-at-any-price is not a doctrine which is congenial to the genius of the English nation ; it is not that we are a warlike people like our con tinental neighbours, whose military ardour and enthusiasm is their paramont influence and reigns supreme over every other feeling ; but there is something contemptible in the notion of such a thing, which a high minded and superior peop:e naturally revolt against. It implies so much in the background, such betrayal of confidence, relinquish• ment of rights, and forsaking of friends, that it may well be stamped as ignoble and unworthy at the very outset. Oaly this very year we have seen this false system prevail in high places, and this fatal principle takes root in our administration, and the consequences have been alike deplorable and disas trous. The Conservative :demonstration at Roch dale may seem nothing to some, but it is by no means positive that the sequence of the story is not an important event in the chronicles of time. To Mr COBDEN and his friends and admirers such an affair may seem as the speck no bigger than a man's hand, but those who saw the picture may discern the likelihood of this adverse combination assuming fearful proportions and eventually making itself felt and seen in an unmistakeable manner before long. Apart from the party tone which characterised the meeting at Rochdale, there were many observations made and principles enunciated which might justly be said to be national ones, and to depict the .our rent of public opinion through the confines of the land. Mr. BRETT, the proposed candidate in the Conservative interest, made a spirited speech, in which he denounced the policy of Mr COBDEN as one fatal to the interests and prejudicial to the principles which the community of this country were prepared to uphold and pledged to support alike by past associations, present convictions, and future aspirations. So far the feeling and senti ment of the reflective part of the constituency wiil go with him, and it is very doubtful if his opponent will be able to gain an advantage over him. Mr BRETT very properly laid great stress upon the new foreign and colonial policy which the disciples of the peace school advocate and will promulgate at the first opportunity. These new notions advocate the nonsinterference in all foreign questions, and the abandonment of our colonies to their own resources, so that we may reduce our army and navy to the smallest possible proportions, and thus decrease ex penditure. Mr.BRETT very forcibly observed that by this means the credit and character of the country would be seriously compronaised,and our honourirre" trievably assailed and tarnished. Who can tell to what length other nations will go, when it is once seen and ascertained for a certainty that Eegland has ceased to be a first-rate Power, intent on keeping her rightful place, and determined to exercise her just influence on other nations. The picture drawn by Mr BRETT is indeed a lugubrious one, but it is nevertheless very likely to be realised if full scope is given to the views of Mr COBDEN and his friends and supporters. When the prestige of a people is past, of what avail are their old glories and ancient prowess ? Let us sink to the level that the utilitarians have prescribed for us ; let us take up their pusillanimous policy with strength and spirit, and what will remain ? May we not safely venture to affirm that there is every chance of the worst forebodings being fulfilled, and the direst prognostications realised. If the Baltic be comes a Russian and the Mediterranean a French lake, what sort of a position shall we hold in E.- rope ? Again, if our colonies are not to be a solace? of interest and attraction to uq, what place shall we hold among the fraternity of nations ? We might as well be blotted out of the map of the world. It has always,been our beast and pride that on our empire the sun never sets, and why should this feeling be no more powerful to prevail nor potent to influence. Mr. BRETT brought the case home to his hearers by saying—" Surely those who advocate snch a policy forget that if all these things were to take place in Canada, Australia, and India, there is not a home or family in England that would not be deprived of some one who is near and dear to it." Mr. COBDEN and his auxiliaries have mistaken their vocation and missed their destiny in their insane attempt to put all things on their own level, and to make the sentiments and sympathies of Englishmen accord to their views, as PROCRUSTES adapted his lodgers to the size of his furniture. Such a cause will not do, and the announcement of such a policy in regard to affairs with the outward world, will materially militate against any effects that a more vigorous home policy might produce. It will be a poor advantage if we remedy deficiencies and rectify abuses that have crept in amongst us, and then find out that we are nobodies after ail. It is idle to trust entirely to appearances, because the great nations that flourished and fell before our time were as great in their fancied security until their doom came upon them, and they passed away as if they had not been. All tends to prove the truth of the saying, that "The record of all earthly tales is but the sad rehearsal of the past." It is the insidious character of many changes that constitute their real danger and destruction. Under the specious pretence and fair-seeming semblance of reform and retrenchment, the disciples of the Manchester School are introducing changes into our political state, and advancing the cause of a social system that will undermine and deteriorate the time-honoured and glorious Constitution of England, It will not do to be deceived or taken in, however fair or well-sounding the de nomination of the new reginae. It is better to be prepared for the emergency. If it is the intention of this new school of philosphical politicians to bide their time, and when Lord PALMERSTON has finally disappeared from the stage of this world's per formances to inaugurate their anti•national and un-English doctrines, then the sooner they are una masked the better. It is always easier to go forward than to retrace lost ground, and the lovers of pro gress will do better to give their votes for the most inveterate hater of reform, than to let in one dis ciple of the school which counsels the mischievous policy of peace at any price, and reform at home with loss of character and credit abroad. The elec tors of Rochdale had better be prepared for the struggle, and manifest their determination to oppose the principles of a policy which will under. mine the influence and stultify the progress of the country. It is very long since any criminal trial has ex cited the keen and absorbing interest with which all ranks and classes of men have followed the details of the trial of FRANZ MULLER for the murder of Mr. ho painful circumstances of the ease had thrilled every heart, and amidst the sympathy universally felt for the family so terribly and so suddenly bereaved of a cherished relative was mingled a sentiment of general uneasi. ness, since each felt the same disaster might have happened to himself, and of indignation that such a crime should have been possible in the very heart of our well guarded metropolis. For a few days no trace of the murderer was discovered, and it began to be feared that the assassination of Mr. BRIGGS would be added to the dark catalogue of crimes which never meet their due reward 03 earth. The unusual reward which was offered .or the appre. hension of the criminal at length brought forward some important evidence, and as the love of gain was probably the motive for the commission of the deed, so it proved the accessory of its detection. The circumstances of the trial, including the pursuit and capture of MULLER, and the singular but most convincing chain of evidence which led to his conviction, were all of a nature to keep up the public excitement to the highest pitch. When it was feared that the sup• posed assassin would elude justice the chase was watched with intense eagerness, but when it was learned that he was actually in the hands of the police general relief was felt. A'l knew that there was no danger of a hasty and incomplete convic• tion—that all that skill and experience and judicial hc:imen of the highest character could do would be done to set the full details of the case before an unpr€judiced and conscientious jury. Those anticipations have been fulfilled to the letter. The care of his nountrymen procured for the pri soner the assistance of eminent counsel, and the whole case has been conducted in a spirit and with a manner worthy of the impartial majesty of English law. Never perhaps has justice held the scales more fairly, never was her sword more carefully and deliberately poised. No one who listened to the clear and masterly summing up of the Lord Chief Baroa—a summing up worthy of his high reputa. tion as one of the ornaments of the Bench—could have failed to be forcibly impressed by the nature of the evidence against the unhappy man at the bar. As the learned judge observed, there were three dis tinct chains of evidence against him—that relating to the hat found in his possession, to the hat found in the carriage, and to the watch and chain. Each of these was carried out with singular distinctness, and the threefold line of defence set up entirely failed to dispose of the evidence. The first plea on behalf of the prisoner was an assertion that the charge against him was not satisfactorily proved—,a mere general defence. The second was that he was physically unequal to the commission of the act—an assertion which, considering the respective ages of the parties, and the fact of AlrßniGas being taken by surprise and probably asleep, did not weigh much in his favour. The third plea, an alibi, entirely broke down, the witnesses, untrust• worthy as they were, being unable to give any reason whatever for their assertions as to the time. In fact, as the Solicitor-General justly observed, the discovery of MULLER having been at Camberwell about nine on the fatal evening was rather preju dicial to him than otherwise. All the other evi dence—of the hatters, of the jeweller, of MuLLEn's landlady, of the cabman and his wife—pointed strongly against the prisoner, and was remarkably unanimous. Little details, such as the lining of the hat, the jeweller's box given to the child, and other incidents fitted in with surprising clearness. Alta - LER himself must have lost all hope as, one by one, these condemning facts were elicited. Ile has the satisfaction, if satisfaction there can be to a man in his awful position, that he has not been condemned undefended and unheard, and that he has had all the aid that legal ingenuity and forensic eloquence could have given to the most innocent man. Bat nevertheless his doom is sealed, and the unanimous voice of the public unhesitatingly ratifies the decision of judge and jury. There only remains the last scene in this appalling tragedy--a tragedy that has brought home to the most thoughtless and light hearted the uncertainly of human life, and the startling but familiar truth that in the midst of fife we are in death. It is only to be hoped that the catastrophe will induce greater care and cau tion in the management of our railway lines, and that the single retrilycion which hls in this inbtauce 'ollowed upon the crime m.ly servo to deter others 'rom so dark a deed. For the murderer himselt ,here is nothing to b:! said, He has committed a Ourbarou3 murder without provoc ttion or induce- went beyond the mere sordid love of gain, and has brought desolation to a happy home only, as the event proves, to condemn himself to an ignominious death. Alter the fitful and fluctuating manner i❑ which our criminal justice has lately been adminis tered, it is some satisfaction to the public that a case of such vital interest to society bhould have been so carried out in accordance with the old tra ditionary dignity of English constitutional law; And it only remains for the public, while shudder.. in?, at the guilt of the critnLal, to echo that deep but audible amen which murmured through the vast assembly as the learned judge concluded the delivery of his impressive judgment., by praying hat the murderer might find that mercy from the tribunal of Heaven which he has justly forfeited at the hands of his fellow men. The public w:11 learn ai ith very great and gene• ral regret that they have lost one whose gifted pencil has for so many years delighted and amused all classes. We have had this year to deplore the loss of many able and eminent men, and now another name is added. to the list. JOHN LEECH is no more, and the wonderful versatile hand whioh has so often illustrated the foibles and fancies of our social life shall no more provoke us to smile, even at our own absurdities. The caricaturist, like the satirist in words, too often plays an ungenerous part. He exposes with merciless hand the weak points of his victim, and is sometimes tempted to sacrifice every kindlier feeling to the desire of achiev. ing an effect. No such charge can be brought against the memory of JOHN LEECH ; and though he has relentlessly exhibited in turn the absurdi ties of almost every class, he has never done it so as to offend even their representatives. Perhaps it was owing to the fact that his satires were general, and aot Fereonat, that they wer , ) so entirely devuld of malice. It was pretension of any kind against which his wit specially directed its shafts, whether cal the " young England," who would fain be old England, the faded belle, who would compete with youthful bloom, the " Jeames," who aped the airs of his master, or the hapless devotee of field sports, who only succeeded in exhibiting his deficiencies. The fun of his yearly almanac illustrations too, was something inimitable by meaner pencils, while the general literature of the day has lost one. of its most brilliant and successful illustrators. Mr. LEECH'S death was as premature as it was unex pected. He was only 47 years of age, and had in the hops and belief of those around him many more years to come of active and vigorous life. For some time he had been a great sufferer from irritability of nerves, and was one of the foremost in the crusade against organ grinders and street cries. The ex cessive sensibility to noise which his friends laughed at and he so painfully lamented, was, in fact, the symptoms of more serious evil, and it would have been well if, instead of roaming from house to house and complaining now of the street music, now of the sound of a neighbouring hammer, Mr. LEECH had paused to ask himself why he felt these things so keenly. The excessive irritability was a sure sign that brain and nerves imperatively needed rest-- rest which, if he had granted with a more prompt and liberal hand to his overtasked powers, might have spared his friends the bereavement, and the public the loss, which they now bewail. It would be well if other men of genius would take warning and be less indefatigable in the pursuit of their cal!- ing, but the present loss is none the less great that it might have been averted fora time, It is strange THE SUN, LONDOW, TUESDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 1864. that within a year LEECH should have followed THACKERAY to the tomb; strange that the two gifted and distinguished schoolfellows should have been so . brief a time parted. They have alike left names no less honoured in their calling than cherished in their homes, and in this age, when morbid sentiment and :extravagant pretension and smoothfaced hypocrisy are only too common, we can ill afford to miss those keen and quick witted cen sors who spared neither wealth nor rank, nor power, when they found it trenching on the code of truth and right. Visit of the Metropolitan Board of Works to Carlisle. CARLISLE, Saturday Evening. This morning the Metropolitan Board of Works, including the chairman (Mr. J. Th waites), his seems tart' (Mr Creasy), Mr. Freeman, chairman of Main drainage committee, and about 25 members of the Board, and accompanied by Mr 13,zalgette, their chief engineer, arrived at Carlisle to inspect the works in operation here for the utilisation of the sewage of the city. In the forenoon they proceeded to the Town Hall, where they were received by the Mayor of Carlisle, and a small deputation of the Local Board of Health, and were joined by Mr Lawson, M.P., Mr Potter, M.P., and other gentle men. They the❑ proceeded to the Willow Holme, near the mai❑ outlet of the sewage of the city, where the works conducted by Mr Alexander M'Dongall, chemist, Manchester, are in operation, and that gentleman explained to the Board the manner in which the sewage is applied to the land he has in hand, As stated in The Sun last week the area actually irrigated is about 60 acres. The Board were first taken to a small engine-house, near which is sunk a deep well, into which the sewage is run, and where it is die. infected. The process of the disinfection is very simple, In two barrels, placed in a covered house, carbo:ic acid, which is insoluble in pure water, is dissolved in lime water, and then runs into a third barrel. This is the disinfecting liquid, and it runs slowly into the well below, in which the sewage is collected, and there it is mixed with it, aid then pumped into canals, which convey it on the land. The general arrangement of these canals was described in The Sun last week. A broad canal is run round the field, which can be stopped up at any point, and sewage diverted into movable iron channels, from which it is shed upon the land. Mr M'Dougall stated that the principal part of the sewage of Carlisle is thus utilised. But the sewage of one district of the town enters the main outlet sewer lower down than his works, and that part is ❑ot made use of by him. By the erection of another engine this also could be made available for the laud ; but as the district iu question is one in which there are few water-closets, Mr M‘Dougell does not consider the sewage of sufficient value to warrant the expense of an additional engine. Speaking in rough numbers the population in the district of which the sewage is not utilised, but is run into the river, is about 7,000 or 8,000 ; while that of the whole of the other districts of the town (all the sewage of which is applied to the soil) is 22,000 or 23,0'e0 people. Mr. Dougall stated that there had not been any complaints made of the slightest smell from his land or works, and the Metropolitan Board verified this by their own personal inspection and observation. As the Board walked over the land Mr. M‘Dougall made some interesting statements as to the effects of the application of disinfected sewage to the land. He had found that, whereas i❑ places where sewage has been applied in a putrifid state the finer grasses are destroyed and rank coarse grass takes its place, the application of disinfected sewage had not been attended with a like result. The fine grasses were still preserved. Fears had been expressed by practical farmers that although they might do to departure milch cows upon, yet when these meadows came to be used for sheep feeding, the animals would be ruined by the disease of " flakes in the liver." Experience had shown tLe3o fears to be groundless, the deodoriz , :x acing as a preventive. Nor had any foot-rot been expe danced. Indeed, the disinfecter being an an septic, any sheep slightly affected with foot-rot were cured by being put into the irrigated land. There is one portion of the land leased by Mr. Mghugall which is not irrigated. Th 9 stock are free to roam over both portions of the holmes, and it was found that they much preferred the irrigated part ; indeed, they had to be penned on that not ir rigated if it was thought desirable to keep them there ; and the board, by contrasting the colour of the grass in the two parts of the land, saw how much more luxuriant was the grass on that which was irrigated. Mr. M.'Dougall stated that he considered the produce on the ir rigated meadows to be about four times as great as that on the land to which the liquid sewage is not applied ; and in some parts, where the irrigations had been made more frequently, five times as great. According to the plan usually fol lowed, the sewage is pumped on each section of the field for four hours at a time, and as it takes about four months to go over the whole area in this way, thch section is irrigated three times a year. Mr M . DJugall expressed his opinion that the best way to make the application and sewage profitable would ba to cut th e grass an d carry it away f or stall-fed oxen, the manure of which should be taken away to 9 ertilise an arable farm where winter food could be grown. Having finished their inspection of the works, the 13Jard returned to the city, and learnt from the butcher by whom the land is rented (Mr Moffat Hetherington) that he considered the application of the sewage most beneficial. Experience had shown him that it was twice as valuable to him as land otherwise of equal value which had not been irri gated. The Board, who expressed themselves much pleased with what they had seen, left for Edinburgh in the evening, by the " Waverley route" pose extending their , tour to Glasgow.. and pur. EXCITING SCENE ON THE COASI`..--SH/pwRECK, AND GALLANT RESCUE OF TUB CREW. scene occurred at Cullercoats on Friday night. The wind blew from the eastward; the night was pitch dark, and the sea was heavier than it had been known for years. Between nine and ton o'clock at night a thick mist came on, and just about that time the villagers were ranch alarmed by observ ing a vessel close under the cliffs _ tua north of the village --A. most exciting burning lights, and moon rushing down to the cliffs they noticed that the vessel was upon the rocks, in danger of momentarily breaking up, and the crew wore shouting for help, and burning tar barrels and torches to attract attention. From the tremendous sea that was roll ing upon the shore it was impossible to get the lifeboat over Cullercoats bar, and if the fishermen had succeeded in doing so she would have speedily been dashed to pieces on the rocks. Fleet footed messengers were despatched to the coastguard stations at Whitley and Tynemouth for the roc kets, and speedily the officer at the former place was on the cliffs with the mortar and apparatus. The greatest anxiety was felt then lest the vessel should break up before lines could be thrown to the crew, and fishermen and fisher. women worked like horses, under the direction of the coast guards, which were drawing up from Tynemouth and other stations, to get the mortar into position, extra gear being brought by Mr Byrne, the chief boatman, and two lines were cleverly shot over the vessel. The crew of the vessel fortunately knew how to use them. A hawser was fastened to the mizzen rigging, life-buoys were got into trim, and. in a short time all hands, men and brays, w ere hauled on to the cliffs amidst loud cheering. While the people on the shore were thus employed the vessel was rapidly breaking up. When the last man left her she was in three pieces, and within an hour she had entirely fallen to fragments, and was floating about the sea. Any delay or want of promptitude on the part of the villagers in bring. ing immediate help to the crow would have been fatal, as they were just saved, and that was all. But the fisher men and noble fisherwomen and fisher lasses of Cullercoats wero not contented with simply assisting to save the poor fellows. In every direction women and lasses wero bringing warm clothing and refreshments for the half-perished men, and they were removed to the inns kept by Mr Smith and Mr Thompson, where every attention was. paid to their com fort. The vessel proved to be the barqueWarriur, of Sunder land, from Hamburg. She had missed Teignmouth lights, and having drawn to the . northward, got embayed. ;The captain had his anohors out, but the vessel had dragged them and struck upon the rocks, about two hundred yards from the cliffs. —Newcastle Chronicle.

At daybreak this morning, at about half tide, with the wind blowing strong from the east, and a roll ing sea and heavy surf on the beach, a large full rigged ship, deeply laden, was discovered within a mile of the shore with the Uaion Jack run up at the foremast. Seeing the ship in this perilous con dition, it was deemed advisable to launch the \Vithernsea lifeboat of the National Institution, and if necessary to put a man on board to pilot her, Th e boat had scarcely been launched, when the wind veered to the south east, and on the lifeboat ar riving alongside the ship the captain declined any assistance. The wind getting a little more south, and the tide making, the ship got off, and at dark was standing fur the north. The vessel was the Marchioness of Queensberry, bcund from Quebec to Hull. Had the wind not veered to the south and moderated, the ship could not have got off, and would i❑ all probability have come ashore. The lifeboat was severely tested, and although twice filled with water, behaved splendidly The wind has this evening again increased from the east. The cost of this lifeboat was the gift to the Institution of the late Miss Sarah Lechmere, of Hanley Castle. NORTH SUNDERLAND, Oct. 29. A vessel was observed this morning ashore on the Island, and the signals being mistaken owing to the fog and rain, the National Institution lifeboat went off only to find that the shipwrecked men were safe on the Fame, and that her services were not re quired. The weather was very stormy, and has been so for the last ten days, but fortunately nothing so severe as it has been further north, MARKETS—This Day, HAY MARKETS.

The Neue Frie Presse of tosday says ; "According to the stipulations of the treaty of peace 29 millions of thalers of the Danish national debt will be borne by the Duchies. "Tile Flensburg fine arts collection will be at the disposal of the Danish Government." The National Assembly terminated its discussion upon the Constitution yesterday. The draft was read over and adopted to-day. Fashions for November. (From Ie Folk) The present month offers great facility to the chronicler of fashions, as a decided stamp has now been given both to the form of costumes and the :naterial to be employed. We remark, as the winter season approaches, how much the basques are returning into favour; and we may affirm now that lobes, whatever their tissue, will adopt them generally. It is true it will not be the classic, basque worn for the last few years ; on the contrary, the new basque is entirely one of fancy. The habit, with square tails, or tails turned back; the long basques of the vesto de cheese ; and the basques de casque, with a broad band, are all in vogue. The paletots and casques are now drawn to the Ncaist by a broad band, making them resemble the blouses. We hope all ladies of taste will protest against this exceedingly ugly and ungraceful style; though we must admit that, how ever unbecoming, a new fashion is readily adopted by novelty-seekers. The material for dresses has assumed a more sombre and heavier appearance, 'W a may bid adieu to gauses and linons ; poplins, taffeta, and reps de lains have taken their place. The novelties in silk are very splendid—Pompadour taffe tas and satins for grand toilette. The white moires, with broad stripes of taffetas in various designs and colours, are especially remarkable for their elegance. Why do young, rich, and elegant ladies prefer wearing dresses decidedly mourning in their appearance, such as a black or black and grey robe, trimmed with jet, and ear rings and buckle to match ? It must be allowed that som bre colours are better for the complexion; and black espe cially is very becoming to almost every one. This, then, may be the true cause for its preference, and so good a one that we need seek no other. Now the steel-coloured and grey moire antique, silk grey gros grains, and grey terry velvet, are in demand; and who is not possessed of a black moire antique or a violet taffetas? Velvet and cloth are making their appearance, and it is probable that velvet will, as last year, be adopted for all descriptions of toilettes. SJ long as the temperature does not compel us to envelope ourselves in winter clothing, par clessus of the same material as the dress, with vestes and corsages in all makes, will be seen. Evening dresses are made with pans and baeques formed of lace and silk. Embroidered dresses will be very fashion able this winter. Satin, embroidered wick twisted silk, or chenille, has a very good appearance. Bonnets next claim our attention. With the winter sea son feathers will appear; but before winter—that in to say, before velvet becomes general in demand —we have autumn, with the taffetas capotes, which are all the fashion now, and are ornamented with flowers. For example —upon a brownish grey capote, a col ur most in vogue at present, is placed a bunch of large purple velvet flowers, with grapes and ornaments of pearl beads. A lilac silk aapote may be trimmed with a wreath of vio let heart's-ease mixed with leaves of velvet, placed all round the front, and under the crown in lieu of a curtain. Most bonnets now have, in place of the curtain, a narrow lace frill, bouillonnes, coques of ribbon, or wreaths of flowers. A branch of flowers placed on the side, and partly veiled by lace or bouillonnes, comprise the arrangement of these coquettish coiffures. Bonaets become smaller and smaller, so much so that one is likely to exclaim—" Is it possible they can fit any lady's head ?" But when worn, we are constrained to say, they are most graceful and becoming to the face. The Foyal Sovereign at Sea. The attempt made, by shelving the Royal Sovereign, to prevent any real knowledge of her capabilities reaching the public ear has, in one sense, been made a little too late. We are enabled to state confidently that the vessel has already been severely tested, and that the results obtained have been so entirely satisfactory that it is simply impossible for the Admiralty to refuse Captain Coles another ship. It is probable that no man living knows the capabili ties of the Royal Sovereign better than her commander, Captain S. Osborn. With all her defects he must be equally familiar, and no good reason can be assigned for appealing from his decision. Capt. Osborn's report is to the last degree favourable. Between the 28th of August and the 17th of September he had the ship under weigh in the Channel on ten different occasions, testing her in every variety of weather, from perfect calm with heavy swell to a double-reefed topsail breeze and a smart sea. On one occasion the ship was put into the broken water of Portland Race just as a heavy gale had broken. On all occasions the ship behaved remarkably well, proving herself not only a buoyant seaboat, but much faster than one would suppose was consistent with her coarse bows, Under the most trying circumstances the maximum roll of the ship has been but 11 degrees each way, doing this at the rate of about ten times in a minute. The great width of the deck, 63 feet, is a serious defect, but that is purely owing to the ship being a converted vessel, and Capt. Osborn is perfectly well aware that this width is , i n no way necessary to the turret py.tvu,. A,..e it is, when riding at ancnor in bad weather, the drift and wet blow along in a very trying manner, but as the ship has no roasts she crow do not really suffer in con sequence, and a sea-going ship would of course be spe. cially designed to prevent this exposure. So much for the qualities of the ship as such. As a man-of-war, we learn that the turrets and guns work admira bly. In all 177 rounds have been fired under every condition, and the rolling of the, ship affects neither the evolutions of the turret nor the guns. The only defects discovered by Captain Osborn appear to lie in the use 01 wooden instead of iron gun carriages, and the absence of winches to run the guns in and out with instead of the old-fashioned tackle. Both these defects are in course of being remedied. Captain Osborn believes that the Royal Sovereign, as she now stands, is the most formidable vessel of war which he has ever been en board of. She would destroy easily, if her guns were rifled, any if our present ironclads, whether of the Hector, Warrior, or—and Mr Reed should dwell on this—the Research class. Clumsy as she has been called, her real handiness, speed, and weight of broadside, and the small target she offers, increase ten- fold her powers of attack and defence. While he has such facts as these in his favour, Capt. Coles can laugh to scorn the various attacks made on him by the opponents of his sys tem. Apparently there is no limit to the weight of the guns which can be worked on the turret system. It must not be forgotten, too, that the Royal Sovereign requires but 300 hands, instead of 1,100. Even now, in this time of our peace, we find that men are scarce, and hard to get; what would it be in time of war ? Let us add that during the time the Royal Sovereign has been at sea a single gun breeching has not been carried away, nor so much as a finger hurt in working her enormous guns. The only damage done has been to a few weak fittings on the deck. For that done to the hawse pipe Captain Osborn takes all the blame to himself.—Mechantes' Magazine. Melancholy Occurrence at Sea. EIGHT LIVES LOST. One of the most painful and heart-rending incidents which have transpired during the late gale was witneessed by the crew of the brig Sovereign, Captain Jackson, on her passage from Wyborg to West Hartlepool. The Sovereign arrived at West Hartlepool on Friday night, and the cap tain reports that on Thursday he was some distance from Hartlepool in a gale of wind and with a heavy sea run ning. About half-Fast eleven o'clock in the morning he was steering the vessel, and was suddenly startled by voices crying out " Brig ahoy 1" Ho called out to the man on watch to know where it proceeded from, and for a few moments they could not perceive any one; but looking behind they discovered a small " dingey," or ship's boat, with seven men and a boy in it. One of them laved a iqnstll flAg on a etiok waving it as a signal of diotrooo, and beckoning the men to turn the vessel round. AU hands were called on deck and the ship's course was speedily altered, and in a short time the vessel was close to the poor fellows, who were being tossed about in their little craft, in momentary expectation of being swamped. On nearing them it was seen that the occupants of the boat were sailors, and one, who was taken for the captain, was steering the boat wish an oar. They appeared to be quite exhausted, as though they had been shipwrecked the previous day, and had been fighting between life and death with the surging waves without either food or water; in fact, there was nothing in the boat but a saw and a life-buoy. A line was immediately hove to the boat, and eagerly caught by the men, who by its aid hauled themselves up to the side of the ship. One et the men in the boat caught hold of the chain fasten ings of the rigging for the purpose of keeping' the boat close to the ship, but a heavy sea caught the vessel, and pitching it to a side lifted the man out of the boat. Finding himself in this position he let go, and fell into the boat at the fore most part of it with his feet, his head going over into the water. On his companions seeing his danger they sprang forward to keep him in the boat, but in doing so they upset their little craft, and the whole of them were pitched into the sea. Two of the men kept hold of the small line that had been pitched to them, and were dragged a short distance with the vessel, which was sailing under close -reefed top sails, but the pitching they received by the sea overcame their strength, and they had to let go. They appeared to be swimmers, and were vainly following in the track of the ship, but only a few moments elapsed and they sank, Others were trying to mount the inverted boat, but they were no sooner on it than a heavy tea washed them off. Others were waving and calling out for help, and for a moment disappearing under the water and then rising again, renewing their signs for assistance. Gradually they all went down, but one kept up about five minutes longer than the rest, who was supposed to be the captain, who had the life-buoy in his hand in the boat. About ten minutes afterwards nothing but the inverted boat was to be seen, and in five minutes more a schooner, directed by signals from the brig, passed immediately the spot where they had gone down, but no signs of life were to be seen. The captain of the Sovereign believed the poor fellows who have come to so untimely au end were the crew of some Swedish vessel, as they had the appearance of Swedes, and a boat similar to those used by such ships, Sonic of theta could speak English, but with u foreign accent,—.ltCtvcastM Prolick, Vik • n rt C vow HER MAJESTY.
